I personally know someone who was his follower and I must say she is not stupid or gullible. she is well educated and to be precise she was my mentor during a short trip in UK about 7 years ago.
it is ok to pass judgement from the sideline as a "neutral" but I would like to see what his followers have to say too.
I must clarify the difference between a "baba" and someone reveared at a divine level. Ram and Sita for example cant be termed baba or Masi
and re your reference to Arab Baba as Muhammad PBUH this can be taken as offensive . if you had mentioned Amir Khusru or Rumi etc as baba then it makes more sense.
please be careful and dont take excuse of following the bad lead of others.
being Atheist doesnt HAVE to mean that you MUST shove your NON faith up someone's faith and you MUST insult and MOCK those who believe in divinity etc.
Pakistani forum or not, one can still express his NON-faith in a much civilized manner which is not condescending and provocative. this is why I understand some Hindu members now term such atheist bullies as "Sickular"
